Quogue Chamber Music returns for the summer and will open the 2023 season with the Galvin Cello Quartet on Saturday, June 17, at 7:30 p.m. The concert will take place at Quogue Community Hall and will feature music by Mozart, J.S. Bach, Rossini, Fitzenhagen, Piazzolla, Gardel, Gershwin and Popper.
Made up of musicians from China, Brazil, South Korea and the United States, the Galvin Cello Quartet burst onto the scene after capturing the silver medal at the 2021 Fischoff Competition, followed shortly by winning the 2022 Victor Elmaleh Competition and joining the Concert Artists Guild roster.
Cellists Sihao He, Sydney Lee, Haddon Kay and Luiz Fernando Venturelli met as students at Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music in the studio of acclaimed pedagogue Hans Jørgen Jensen. Named after the Mary B. Galvin Recital Hall at Bienen, the Galvin Cello Quartet began during the height of the pandemic. Its story is a testament to the power of teamwork and exceeds all expectations of traditional chamber music.
This summer, the Galvin Cello Quartet will be in residence at the Ascent International Cello Festival at the University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music, with additional performances throughout the country in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kentucky and Colorado.
Tickets to Galvin Cello Quartet are $50 ($110 includes a post-concert celebration) and $5 for students (concert only) at quoguechambermusic.org. Tickets will also be sold at the door on night of concert. Quogue Community Hall is at 125 Jessup Avenue, Quogue.
